Trend Micro launches security suite for telecom companies

Trend Micro Incorporated has announced a comprehensive security suite designed for telecom companies to deploy to better protect their users. This suite protects customers' whole digital life against known and unknown threats by laying a virtual security layer around devices. Trend Micro Consumer Connect is highly scalable, easy to integrate and simple to deploy, adding a competitive advantage for leading telecom providers.

With 5G set to drive a new era of IoT adoption, telecoms have a unique opportunity to add value by protecting their customers. Trend Micro research predicts an IoT "worm war" will emerge this year, as hackers compete to compromise home devices including routers, conscripting them into botnets like the notorious Mirai campaigns that led to some of the biggest DDoS attacks ever recorded.

"Smart home device sales are expected to reach $1.3bn by 2022[2], but cyber-criminals are primed to take advantage of design flaws and insecure configuration to hijack equipment and use it in damaging DDoS, info-stealing and other attacks," said Akihiko Omikawa, executive vice president IoT security for Trend Micro. "Our new suite securely lets Telecom providers help their customers lock their smart homes against intruders. That's great news for consumers and our telecom partners, who get a highly flexible, optimizable solution from a committed partner which will help to drive competitive advantage."

It protects against ransomware, zero-day threats, info-stealing trojans, crypto-mining, and other online threats designed to compromise IoT endpoints, covering all smart home devices plus PCs and mobiles.

Telecom partners also benefit from Trend Micro's unbeatable end-to-end support. Features include: simple API-based integration into the partner's infrastructure and processes; flexible solution to align to customers' needs; a security dashboard to help partners better understand their customers; exceptional support throughout the customer journey; and built-in marketing toolkits to drive ARPU and business growth.
